on Feb 18th, 2010Addition of pedestrian trails enhances Fishers real estate
When I blogged not long ago about the many reasons residents love Fishers Indiana, I included the trail system as both a positive and a negative. Positive in that pedestrian trails run throughout Fishers and connect many neighborhoods and amenities. Negative in that those trails often end abruptly, forcing pedestrians to brave traffic or dash across busy streets.
So, I’m thrilled to report that this year the Town of Fishers will add approximately 5 miles of trails around town. The new paths will primarily link the 60-plus miles of existing trails found along most major roads and subdivisions. I can already hear the cheers of Fishers’ frustrated walkers, runners and cyclists! This is the sort of improvement that will ensure Fishers continues to be ranked as one of the best places to live in the United States.
The project will be funded with $1 million in bond money and $250,000 in federal grant money, according to a press release from the Town of Fishers. The trail additions to be completed this year are:
- 106th Street from Allisonville Road to Eller Road
- 106th Street from Crosspoint Boulevard to Lantern Road
- 106th Street from Muir Lane to the Beaver Ridge neighborhood
- 106th Street from Beaver Ridge to the Bradford Ridge neighborhood
- Lantern Road from Wellington Place Apartments south to the existing trail
- Brooks School Road from 116th Street to the Brookston Place neighborhood
- Eller Road from Allisonville Road to the Eller Commons neighborhood
- Cumberland Road from 116th Street to 121st Street
